Now just to add more confusion - I actually plan on writing out both names so:
Mr. Michael Doe Mrs. Catherine Doe
Table #
Mind you this idea changes daily.

It depends on how formal it is:
Formal: Mr and Mrs _____
A little informal you could do their first full names.
I wouldn't do shorter or nick names though JMO

I think the correct way is - the way you wrote it out on your envelopes: Mr. & Mrs. Michael Doe
That's how I'm going to do it.

I think it depends how formal your wedding is. I believe for a very formal wedding this would be correct: Mr & Mrs Michael Doe
But this would also be nice and noone would complain: Catherine & Michael Doe

Re: Place Card Wording......HELP!
It is a formal affair, but I don't want anyone getting insulted by not putting their name on the placecard.
I think I am going to go with:
Catherine & Michael Doe
But does the woman go before the man?

Re: Place Card Wording......HELP!
jar823- i'm doing exactly what you are doing except i am putting the man's name first on all of them. consistent with my inner envelopes on my invitations.
i am also using the name by which everyone goes by. ie; if it's my aunt cathy and i never call her catherine i would put michael and cathy doe.
